The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is shown to be an efficient model reduction technique for simulating physical processes governed by partial differential equations. In this paper, we make an initial effort to investigate problems related to POD reduced modeling of a large-scale upper ocean circulation in the tropic Pacific domain. We construct different POD models with different choice...

During gonad and adrenal development, the POD-1/capsulin/TCF21transcription factor negatively regulates SF-1/NR5A1expression, with higher SF-1 levels being associated with increased adrenal cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. In adrenocortical tumor cells, POD-1 binds to the SF-1 E-box promoter region, decreasing SF-1 expression. However, the modulation of SF-1 expression by POD-1 has not pre...

BACKGROUND The optimal dose of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in renal transplant patients has been recommended to be decided on the basis of area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-12) of mycophenolic acid (MPA). Although meta-analysis has revealed that postoperative day (POD) is an influencing factor in MPA pharmacokinetics, there are no reports regarding a limited sampling strategy (LSS) ...

Methods Murine AAAs were created via intra-aortic infusion of porcine pancreatic elastase and aortic size was monitored by ultrasound on post-op day (POD) 3, 7, and 14. Mice were imaged after injection of prepared peritoneal macrophages. For BLI, macrophages were from transgenic mice expressing luciferase, with injection on POD 1 and imaging at POD 3, 7, and 14 by in situ BLI (AAA N=17, sham co...

Much of the variation in soybean yield is associated with changes in pod number per plant, however physiological regulation of pod number is not well understood. Three determinate soybean cultivars, Hai339 (H339), Heinong35 (HN35) and Kennong18 (KN18) were grown for 2 years at 27 plants m in a field experiment and exposed to shading and light enrichment. The data of total soluble sugar (TSS) in...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS To evaluate the effect of early enteral nutrition after hepatectomy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients on postoperative gastrointestinal motility recovery and admission days, liver function and nutrition recovery, and postoperative complication. METHODS From August 2010 to July 2011, 102 patients with primary HCC underwent hepatectomy. Forty two patients took a sip of...

•POD lesions are often diagnosed as ovarian or uterine in origin on imaging.•POD malignancies with concomitant endometriosis, appear to be of lower grade.•There is no consensus on the optimal treatment for rare primary POD neoplasms.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Coordination of sugar transport and metabolism between developing seeds and their enclosing fruit tissues is little understood. In this study the physiological mechanism is examined using two genotypes of asparagus bean (Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis) differing in pod wall and seed growth rates. Pod growth dominates over seed growth in genotype 'Zhijiang 121' but not...
